San Francisco, Calif., October 30, 2024 – SweetRush, a leading provider of innovative custom learning strategies and solutions, proudly announces that it has earned SOC 2 Type II certification. This achievement underscores SweetRush’s dedication to safeguarding client data and maintaining the highest standards of information security.
SOC 2 is a rigorous compliance framework used to evaluate and validate information security practices. To obtain this certification, SweetRush underwent a comprehensive audit to ensure the implementation of robust policies and protocols for protecting client data. This audit included rigorous testing of SweetRush’s IT infrastructure across 129 parameters, including security policies, control points, and numerous information systems.
Earning SOC 2 certification is the latest example of SweetRush’s ongoing investment in its IT infrastructure to protect against increasingly sophisticated cyberattacks.
Arturo Schwartzberg, SweetRush Cofounder and Chairman, affirms, “Over 23 years of business with many hundreds of clients, we’ve held every project with the utmost care and security. SOC 2 certification puts a bow on all the policies and frameworks we’ve been growing and evolving since 2001.”
Schwartzberg credits the IT team as the unseen—and often unsung—heroes who create the secure environment where SweetRush’s signature thought partnership and learning innovation can flourish.
Mark Mastro, SweetRush Director of IT and Security, explains, “It’s our job in IT to be diligent 24/7 to protect our clients’ data. Understandably, most folks outside IT just don’t realize that we are under constant attack by bad actors. Generally, we are behind the scenes and rarely get to be acknowledged in the awards SweetRush earns, so this is a unique moment of celebration for IT. Achieving this SOC 2 certification feels great, and I could not be more proud of the team.”
Though SweetRush’s primary focus is on products and services, the team recognizes that IT infrastructure and information security are vital to its clients and needs to be part of the conversation.
“This certification reflects our commitment to partnering with clients in a secure and trustworthy way,” adds Linda M. Fleming, SweetRush Chief Operating Officer. “It’s a significant step toward keeping SweetRush at the forefront of security, innovation, and trust.”
SweetRush’s SOC 2 certification reinforces its position as a trusted strategic partner for clients in all industries. As a life-centered organization focused exclusively on people-centered services, SweetRush is proud to offer client-partners the peace of mind of knowing their data is protected with the highest degree of integrity and security.
